Love Pa’La so much! Best fine dining restaurant in Phoenix in my opinion. Never had a bad experience here, food is always incredible. Brought several friends who had never been before and everyone was blown away. Great for vegetarians as well as those with dietary restrictions. We had one dairy allergy and one nut allergy and they were able to accommodate everything easily. Wine list is tops. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Great atmosphere and ambiance. We went on a Monday night and it wasn’t busy at all. The food was excellent. All four dishes that everyone had were fantastic. The humus and pita bread appetizer is a must to start off your meal. Would highly recommend Cala!

The roof top was not crowded on Sunday night. The view was great, and where else can you sit on the roof in December without teeth chatter. Monica was very attentive and interactive as our waitress. We hope to see her again. Craft cocktails were on point. Highly recommend the olive appetizer and the flatbread. Both were delicious.
